Build better software with AI
AI Coding Workshop
Brussels
Learn practical workflows that make AI-assisted development faster, more reliable, and easier to manage, without sacrificing engineering discipline or code quality.
Why attend?
Most AI coding sessions focus on features and demos. This workshop focuses on how developers actually work effectively with AI.
This workshop focuses on practical application, not hype. Through live demonstrations, guided exercises, and real-world scenarios, participants will learn structured approaches to AI-assisted development that improve productivity without sacrificing quality or maintainability.
You’ll learn how to:
- Create better context for AI-generated output
- Build repeatable workflows instead of relying on trial and error
- Review and refine generated code efficiently
- Improve productivity without sacrificing engineering quality
- Stay in control of AI-assisted development workflows
- Apply techniques across multiple tools and environments
This is practical, hands-on training built for developers working on real software systems.
Tool Neutral
Learn principles that apply across the entire AI ecosystem — Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code, Codex, Theia AI, and beyond.
Immediate ROI
Walk away with reusable workflows you can apply in your day job immediately.
Real Codebases
Work on actual repositories, solving real engineering problems with guided exercises.
Limited Attendance
Intentionally small cohort to maintain a collaborative, high-signal learning environment.
Who should attend?
Whether you are experimenting with AI coding tools or already using them daily, this workshop will help you work more effectively and intentionally.
- Software developers
- Technical architects
- Engineering teams
- Open source contributors
- Developer advocates
- Engineering managers
- Developers exploring AI-assisted development for the first time
- Experienced AI coding users looking for more structured and reliable approaches
This is practical, hands-on training built for developers working on real software systems.
What you'll leave with
- Practical AI-assisted development techniques
- Reusable workflows you can apply immediately
- Better strategies for prompting, review, and iteration
- A clearer understanding of modern AI coding tools
- Connections with developers facing similar challenges

Featured Training
An intensive, hands-on technical session designed to change how you work — not just what tools you know.
Dr. Jonas Helming
Lead Instructor
CEO of EclipseSource, consultant, trainer, and software engineer focused on web-based tools, IDEs, and AI-assisted development environments.
Jonas leads several open source projects including Eclipse Theia, and is actively involved across the Eclipse ecosystem and broader open source community. He is a frequent conference speaker and recently delivered a highly-rated version of this workshop at OCX in Brussels.
3–4 hour hands-on workshop
This is an active workshop designed around participation, experimentation, and discussion — not a lecture. Bring your laptop. Through live demonstrations, guided exercises, and real-world engineering scenarios, you’ll build techniques that transfer across tools and evolve with the landscape.
01. Context
Preparing high-quality context for consistently better AI-generated output.
02. Prompting
Structured prompting techniques for complex, multi-file engineering tasks.
03. Review
Validating and iterating on AI-generated code without accumulating technical debt.
04. Agents
Working effectively with AI coding agents across tools and environments.
